cURTIS’ DREAM:
A VEHICLE FOR CHANGE
CURTIS’ STORY
Curtis was always one for kindness and was known for his selfless deeds. He was a hardworking and social guy. Curtis eventually passed away from a toxic drug overdose Dec 14th, 2022 in his apartment, alone, while playing the Playstation.
After Curtis’ passing, his 1999 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 Twin Turbo remained parked in our family’s driveway. Rather than getting rid of it, we began raising a sizeable amount of money to repair the car. It was his dream to fix up this car; we though that since it encompasses a part of him it helps to put a person behind the overdose story.
CURTIS’ DREAM
Curtis’ Dream is meant to spread the kindness and excited, energetic engagement with the community that Curtis was famous for. He cared deeply for the people around him and we wanted to continue in that memory.
Curtis’ Dream Car is now driving to destigmatize substance use, to raise awareness of the toxic drug crisis and distribute harm reduction information, Naloxone kits, and testing supplies.
While Curtis is no longer here to speak for himself, his dream car HAS BECOME a loud voice for action.
“Fixing the car was Curtis’ Dream; offering better support to families and people who use substances, is ours.”

THank you for signing our petition
We created a very simple petition calling for our government to consider a more targeted approach to advertising the toxic drugs crisis that is killing roughly 22 Canadians per day.
We managed to accumulate the 500 signatures we need to see this petition make its way to Parliament.
